DOI:https://doi.org/10.4271/811235· OSTI ID:5155859
A phenomenological model is presented for prediction of the combustion characteristics of a quiescent chamber diesel engine. Predictions with the model have shown acceptable agreement with a range of experimental data. The major physical processes controlling combustion have been characterized, and the dominant role of air entrainment and turbulent mixing confirmed quantitatively. 45 refs.
